Ancient Knowledge

Elders are the past, present and future of our people. They embody the knowledge, traditions and stories of our existence. Understanding the importance of our Elders is paramount for younger generations to stay strong in the culture. The artwork embodies the significance of the elders knowledge. It illustrates several aspects of traditional ways of both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. There are symbols representing the Elders and symbols for hunting and connection. The Sky, sea and land are portrayed by the colours and totem animals within the artwork.

I love to create depth and dimensions with colours and size differences, I use an abundance of detail and intricate patterns, but I also like to balance out my artwork with emptiness and quiet. My motifs and circular patterns are a unique combination drawn from my three Indigenous heritages.

I grew up in Cairns, Far North Queensland from the age of eight years old. My background includes Aboriginal from the Jirrabal tribe of the Surrounding Cairns region, Torres strait island descendance from the Wagedoegam tribe of Mabuiag Island as well as Ngapuhi from New Zealand. My Torres Strait Island Totems are Crocodile, Snake, Stonefish and Remora. My Aboriginal Totem is Dingo.

2006 is when I started to take my art practice seriously and began experimenting with various mediums including pencil, pastels and acrylic paint I now do the majority of my artwork digitally.

I love to create depth and dimensions with colours and size differences, I use an abundance of detail and intricate patterns, but I also like to balance out my artwork with emptiness and quiet. My motifs and circular patterns are a unique combination drawn from my three Indigenous heritages.
